How should you navigate a roundabout on a motorcycle?

• A. Enter first and weave through traffic quickly.
• B. Stop in the middle and wait for a gap.
• C. Enter at high speed to minimize exposure.
• D. Yield to traffic inside and pedestrians, enter when safe, and ride in your lane.

Answer: (D)

When approaching a roundabout on a motorcycle, the key is to yield to anything already in the circle and to pedestrians at crosswalks, then enter only when there is a safe gap, and ride in your lane around the circle. This is about being predictable and giving priority to traffic that’s already circulating. Keep your speed controlled and look through the roundabout toward your intended exit. Signal your intention to exit and maintain a steady lane position as you circulate; avoid weaving or changing lanes inside the roundabout, and don’t stop in the middle. Entering at high speed or stopping in the circle creates dangerous situations for you and others. By yielding, entering safely, and staying in your lane, you reduce risk and navigate the roundabout smoothly.
